Somalia: Exodus continues as IDPs surpass one million
23.11.2007
Despite a lull in fighting in Somalia's capital Mogadishu, hundreds of families are still fleeing the city, joining what the UN has estimated to be one million displaced people (IDPs). "Many families are leaving because they don’t believe the current break in the fighting will last," a civil society source in Mogadishu, who requested anonymity, told IRIN on 21 November.
